iphitus Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 One site can help a helluva lot for this sort of thing. www.rpmseek.com Search for package provides or inlcudes file: libabc123.so and it'll give you a list of packages you can download RPM Seek is the first place I go when i want to find an RPM because of it's large database and excellent search facility.

bvc Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 I know it probably wasn't mentioned because 'it's a given' to many of us, but for the sake of the newbie, I thought I'd mention that the first thing to do is urpmf file_name following your example it would be urpmf libabc123.so this will search the rpmdb (database) in your sources to see if it's available from your current sources. If urpmf finds libabc123.so in pkg abc123-4.i586.mdk.rpm, then all you have to do is urpmi abc123 This will keep you from having to download from the net, and lessen dep hell, not to mention other probs that could arise. I prefer http://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/ http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/2/simple/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
